New Students

Important Notice

NFAOnline registration is limited to United States citizens only.

The National Fire Academy (NFA) is proud to offer the fire and emergency services community a new, more convenient way to receive training with NFA Online. Students can complete courses online anywhere and anytime convenient to them. These courses do not replace traditional classroom-based instruction taught at the National Emergency Training Center. Instead, NFA Online allows us to reach out to students who find it difficult to participate in resident courses due to work or family commitments, distance, or physical disabilities. Getting started is easy:

  1. Browse Courses to view what's available.
  2. Select the course you would like to take and click the Enroll Now link. You will be taken to the NFA Online Login Page.
  3. Click the New Student? link under the To Get Started section on the right hand side of the Login Page.
  4. Fill out the online registration form.
  5. Write down your User ID and Password.
  6. Login using the User ID and Password provided to you during the registration process. You will be immediately prompted to change your Password following your initial login.
  7. Access to your course will be delayed to allow for registration processing time. The catalog populates at the top of each hour; therefore depending on when you registered you may have to wait up to one hour until you can access the course. You are encouraged to complete the Q136 NFA Online Tutorial as your first course to familiarize yourself with the functionality of the site.
